Embarking on the journey of printing art and intricate designs on coffee is as exciting as it can be slightly daunting for new adopters. Whether you're a café owner looking to offer something unique to your customers or just an avid coffee lover who enjoys personalised drinks, getting to grips with your coffee printer can be a breeze if approached correctly. Below, we’ll walk you through some troubleshooting basics specifically tailored for first-time users of coffee printers.

Understanding Coffee Printers

Coffee printers are innovative devices that allow you to print detailed images and text directly onto the frothy surfaces of a cup of coffee, generally using edible ink. Devices such as the FC1 - EVEBOT Full Color Coffee Printer bring artistry into the realm of café service, making every cup a masterpiece. For those prioritising speed and clarity in their prints, the PRO - EVEBOT Coffee Printer is another excellent choice.

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Ink Issues

• Problem: The design is faint or missing in certain areas.
• Solution: Ensure you are using the correct and compatible edible ink cartridges. The ink should also be filled to the right level. Occasionally, perform the cleaning function to ensure no clogged nozzles affect the print quality.

2. Print Alignment

• Problem: The image is skewed or off-centre.
• Solution: Recalibrate the print head alignment. Most coffee printers come with a user manual that provides step-by-step instructions. Regular calibration maintains accuracy over time.

3. Connectivity Problems

• Problem: The printer isn't connecting to your device.
• Solution: Check if the printer and your device are properly connected via Wi-Fi or USB. Restarting both the coffee printer and your device often solves disconnection issues.

• Experiment with Textures: Different types of froth can yield different results. Experiment with milk, almond, or oat milk to see what works best with your designs.
• Regular Maintenance: Follow the maintenance guide to prolong your machine’s longevity. This includes regular cleaning and ensuring software updates are installed.
